Top 3 New Year’s Travel Resolutions for 2010

2009 has been a great year! Rich and I got to jet set to some fantastic places including Buenos Aires, Argentina-Punta Del Este, Uruguay-Prague, Czech Republic- and Reykjavik, Iceland. We are now working on our destination list for 2010 which I hope will be as exciting. With the new year almost here, I thought I’d share my Top 3 personal Travel Resolutions for 2010. My mantra is still the same- “travel more, but be smart about it!”

1- Travel to more “Off-the-Beaten Path” Destinations: It’s always great jet setting to a big city, but sometimes it’s cooler staying in a smaller town just outside of the city. It’s a great way to get a better feel for how the locals really live, and it’s a smarter way to travel because you can probably get a hotel for half the price.

2- Go Green When Making Travel Plans: Look for hotels that are Environmentally Friendly, or take a train to a destination instead of flying- it’s better for the environment and it’s smarter because you could end up saving money on your total travel costs.

3- Take more Road Trips: A Staycation is not really my thing- I like to get out there, but it doesn’t always have to be by way of an airplane. Sometimes, hopping in the car and traveling to a new city or town can be just as fun- plus, with all the new airline fees, it may be smarter because it may end up being cheaper than flying.
